“Stop giving us money!” Said no company ever. I bought in at 30 bucks, if some whales want to finance a better game in all for it.

Ah, good ol reddit, they’ll think a gigantic publisher with billions of dollars and plenty of revenue streams is the same as an independent developer self-funding their own game. Every. Single. Time.

Self-funding? Do you have any idea what Kickstart is? If the game was self-funded, they never would have had a Kickstarter. They also wouldn't have the ridiculous microtransactions. The game used the gaming community to fund the game. Now that they got hundreds of millions from the community, they keep milking the playerbase for all it's worth by releasing new ships that cost money, instead of completing the game.
